Chapter 299: Correcting a Girl’s Tragic Life (23)
Qiann Yan: "Really."
The room fell into silence. Qiann Yan wasn’t in a hurry and sat quietly on the sofa, waiting.
Wuh Jiaqi and Ke Xue exchanged glances, then looked at Qiann Yan, who was sitting there with unshakable composure. They also noticed their son’s eyes seemed glued to the young girl, leaving them speechless yet somewhat understanding.
For all these years, the people their son could remember were just them and this young girl.
About five minutes later, Wuh Jiaqi spoke: "Last time, when Little Hua came back, he told us classmate Xia reminded us to be cautious of Shang Ruqi. As far as we know, Shang Ruqi is classmate Xia’s aunt," Wuh Jiaqi paused, full of concern, "As it involves Little Hua, we have to be cautious. We ask for classmate Xia’s understanding."
Qiann Yan wasn’t bothered by this, simply saying, "Shang Ruqi wants to harm me too."
Wuh Jiaqi was a little puzzled. Isn’t Shang Ruqi Xia Qianyan’s aunt?
"Many things may seem unbelievable to you, and it’s hard for me to explain. Whether you believe it or not makes no difference to me."
Wuh Huai was a bit anxious. Does this mean she’s not going to care about him?
What about friendship among classmates?
Wuh Jiaqi felt that Qiann Yan indeed wasn’t paying much attention to Wuh Huai’s issues, just as she said, whether they believed her or not wouldn’t affect her.
Since she could pinpoint where Little Hua’s problem lay, it was surely not baseless, and she must have some confidence.
For so many years, Little Hua’s situation hadn’t improved, so Wuh Jiaqi decided to take a gamble.
"Classmate Xia, I believe what you said. I wonder what conditions you need to help Little Hua retrieve his soul."
Qiann Yan: "Whether it can be retrieved depends on what Shang Ruqi did with his soul. If it was destroyed, it can’t be recovered. If it’s locked away, I should be able to retrieve it once I deal with Shang Ruqi. If it was thrown somewhere else, it will take a lot of effort, and there’s no guarantee it can be brought back."
Wuh Jiaqi and Ke Xue hadn’t expected this outcome. So the other party wasn’t confident either?
"Shang Ruqi harbors considerable malice toward your Wuh family. Even if you ignore her, she may not leave you alone. I’ve calculated, if Shang Ruqi isn’t dealt with, Wuh Huai will face calamities, life-threatening ones."
Wuh Jiaqi and Ke Xue’s complexions changed dramatically. For a moment, they didn’t know what to do, all eyes were on Qiann Yan.
At this point, all authority lay in Qiann Yan’s hands.
"I can’t guarantee retrieving Wuh Huai’s soul, but I can ensure the safety of your Wuh family members."
Wuh Jiaqi: "What are your conditions then?"
"Get me some top-quality jade stones, quickly, preferably today, to make an Amulet."
Qiann Yan didn’t want to waste any more words: "Decide soon, I don’t have much time."
Wuh Jiaqi didn’t hesitate this time, immediately made a phone call to have someone prepare top-quality jade stones.
For the Wuh family, such a task was too easy, having connections and money, it was straightforward.
In the afternoon, a variety of jade stones were laid in front of Qiann Yan, all of good quality.
Wuh Jiaqi: "Time is pressing. Top-grade jade stones can’t be procured immediately. Do these suffice?"
"They’ll do."
Qiann Yan picked up some tools and began cutting the jade into small pieces without a hint of reluctance.
After cutting them into small pieces, she started carving with a small knife into Peaceful Pendants, not caring about aesthetics, gender designs, as long as they were functional.
Wuh Jiaqi’s cheeks twitched. Such fine jade stones, under normal circumstances, he would surely comment on such waste.
